Maison Francis Kurkdjian Reflets d'Ambre is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Francis Kurkdjian. Reflets d'Ambre opens with Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Cinnamon, and Hedione, and dries down to a base of Amber, Patchouli, Vanilla, and Labdanum. Maison Francis Kurkdjian's Reflets d'Ambre carries a Favourite verdict, a spicy-led wear.

This is an elegant, warm amber that gets compared endlessly to its discontinued older sibling, Ciel de Gum. It's lighter, airier, and more floral than anticipated, leaning into a refined feminine vibe despite some indolic jasmine peeking through. It's gorgeous, but some are disappointed it's not a direct clone of the heavier original.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

With moderate longevity and sillage, this refined amber-floral is versatile but best suited for close encounters like dates or more dressed-up events. Its warmth and subtle richness make it a strong contender for autumn evenings, and it's generally considered too elegant for sporty activities.

About

Reflets d'Ambre opens with a soft, sparkling whisper of pink pepper, quickly ushering in a luxurious floral heart. Jasmine and rose weave together, initially with a hint of indolic depth, softened by a warm, gently spiced cinnamon. As it settles, a rich, enveloping base of amber, vanilla, and patchouli emerges, creating a smooth, subtly powdery, and profoundly elegant trail that lasts beautifully on the skin.
